Gluten Free Crustless Pumpkin Cheesecake

     Gluten Free Crust-less Pumpkin Cheese Cake 

 Whew! What a busy day it was..My husbands 72 year old friend
who has no family decided to drop by today..It was four O'clock and we had just eaten lunch at pretty much the only restaurant we can eat at. It is called " Sittos". A friend introduced us to it a little while ago. It has now become our old stand bye place to eat, when are are starving. Don't get me wrong.We are not a boring family or anything, however,  we do tend to order the same thing almost every time we dine at Sittos. Primarily,As you probably already know, " It's a safe place to grab some food, that we've eaten before and know it will not cause adverse side effects in relation to our Gluten Intolerant bodies..

Okay! It was  time to do some fast thinking and put together a game plan for this evening dinner.

                                   Yes, I have it!
 I will make a Salad, Almond Crusted Chicken, Steamed Carrots and Homemade Mashed Potatoes.. 


                              For dessert, I decided to make:
